rwp @Matthew:13:44 @{And hid } (\kai ekrupsen \). Not necessarily bad morality . "He may have hid it to prevent it being stolen , or to prevent himself from being anticipated in buying a field " (Plummer ). But if it was a piece of sharp practice , that is not the point of the parable . That is , the enormous wealth of the Kingdom for which any sacrifice , all that one has , is not too great a price to pay . rwp @Matthew:13:46 @{He went and sold } (\apelth “n pepraken \). Rather eagerly and vividly told thus , "He has gone off and sold ." The present perfect indicative , the dramatic perfect of vivid picture . Then he bought it . Present perfect , imperfect , aorist tenses together for lively action . \Empor “i \ is a merchant , one who goes in and out , travels like a drummer .
